I've been working with web technologies for ten years and in all that
time a safe urlencoding for a space has always been %20 on every
platform I have ever used. Now I am using asp.net and it's encoding a
space as a +. What on earth is this? Since when was a plus considered
a safe alternative to a space for transmission in a url? Heck there's
even an encoding for a plus sign, which shows just how un-safe this is!
So, rant over, is everyone having to roll there own urlencode for .net
or what?

for the whole history of html, + has been the url substitute for space. %
encoding was added later, so many encoders use + instead of %20. asp.net,
like javascript has many url encoders, see Uri.EscapeUriSt ring.

Hi,. I'm trying to detect any links that are contained within an html page
using eregi pattern matching. I was wondering if there are any pattern
matching geniuses out there who could write a pattern that merges all the
different manners in which a link could be wriiten,
Current patterns I can think of include:
<a href=x.com> no spaces betwen href, equals and url, no quotation marks
around url
<a href =x.com> space between href and...

Hi All,
I can see from the manual that the difference between urlencode and
rawurlencode is that urlencode translates spaces to '+' characters, whereas
rawurlencode translates it into it's hex code.
My question is, is there any real world difference between these two
functions? Or perhaps another way of asking the question: *why* are there
two different functions? In what situation would you need one, and not be
able to use the...

Hi All,
When I query a Employee table on the server which contains space between the
first and last name. Then I place a variable like the following.
fullname = (recordset1("EmployeeName"))
and place fullname variable in the html textbox called txtEmpName. I
noticed that only the employee's first name was displayed. Applying ther
server.URLEncode(recordset1("EmployeeName")) helps in a way, but fill space

Any ideas as to why urlencode(addslashes(chr(0))) returns '%5C0'? It
seems like it should return '%00' since that's what urlencode(chr(0))
returns. If not that, I could also see it returning '%5C%00' since
that's what urlencode('\\').urlencode(chr(0)) and
urlencode('\\'.chr(0)) return. '%5C0', however, confuses me. Even
urlencode(chr(0x5C0)) doesn't return '%5C0' - it returns '%C0'.

Hello,
I'm trying to do urllib.urlencode() with unicode correctly, and I
wonder if some kind person could set me straight?
My understanding is that I am supposed to be able to urlencode anything
up to the top half of latin-1 -- decimal 128-255.
I can't just send urlencode a unicode character:

urlencode turns # into %23
When I sent it thru $_GET, it dissapears, along with anything that comes

Hi, I'm trying to make a gui for a web service. Site using ±
character in value of some fields. But I can't encode this character
properly.
>>> data = {'key':'±'}
>>> urllib.urlencode(data)
'key=%C2%B1'
but it should be only %B1 not %C2%B1. where is this %C2 coming from?

For ASP.Net 2.0, if using HttpUtilities.Urlencode, it will encode

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
